NEW SCAM ALERT

[australian-feathers]

I have been with ebay since 2005, in that time I have never been scammed UNTIL NOW

Purchased 2 office chairs - ID member had no feedback and was new to ebay, gave him an opportunity to get feedback, 

viewing now so did 10 other people.

No sign of any goods, he has not answered 5 emails I sent looking for goods - NO REPLY

I HAVE BEEN SCAMMED , BEWARE of New ebayers with no feedback ..

I believe other buyers have not left feedback yet, maybe they are still unaware the chairs are NOT coming

Hope this helps everyone BUYING on Ebay

anyone else for that mistake,(never pay by bank deposit as you have no protection)

Then if paypal symbol is on the web page for payment then why did payment not go through but was presented with bank details for payment is this not against polcy of ebay and paypal.

Payment details
Payment method Preferred / Accepted
Credit or debit card through PayPal

Accepted

Cash On Delivery

Accepted

Yes, it is against policy and the buyer needs to tell the seller to fix their paypal account so the item can be paid for.

And if it is a pickup item then the best method of payment is cash on pickup after inspecting the item and making sure it is as described.

sydney to melbourne a long wayto pick up and postage was offered

[lyndal1838]

The information was general and intended to inform others when it is acceptable not to use paypal.

I have bought pick up items from other states when I have had a friend or relative who can collect it and pay cash after inspecting.

You have mis read my post.

He is stalking you.

There was a similar scam with legit looking website based in oz that was selling outdoor stuff and bbqs at around 50% of retail (first red flag) but then offered a discount if you paid with direct deposit instead of card (second red flag). So hundreds of morons paid up and it turned out it was based overseas and impossible to get your money back.

Seems they're 'following' each other

Sorry for misreading your quote 

went back and checked and there he was the man who took my money without sending the goods Mr REMOVED himself what a joke, i hope he finds it edyfying as a buyer only I have  never really looked at my own profile i never really looked at this aspect of followers before, and yes it is stalking, considering he never answered emails or sends the goods paid for, Its good to know he is taking such a interest,  or maybe gloating at his cunning at having ripped $600.

I really hope his companies  have a good year and he can go to the greek islands and lead a good life but we all know where we go in the end.

And thank you for the tip i had assumed i might have followed his sales like i have done with others

He should have refunded your money
